OLDER AND ORNERIER THAN EVAH

Please note the last word in the title which identifies me as a real Bostonian.  Just sayin'.  did have a recent birthday which was celebrated with those near and dear.  Very weird being of a certain age that I never thought I would be and feeling like I don't mind it.  Even stopped reading the obits.  I'm still full of piss and vinegar so here goes.

--I unsubscribed from all of Senator Warren's emails for two reasons.  First of all, I love her remaining my Senator.  Second, there are too many Dems running and some of them need to start dropping out.  If, in a year, there are still 20 or so screaming at each other or if, god forbid, one of them decides to run as an independent, we are looking at 4 more years.  That's ugly.
--Two close allies of POTUS got nailed for being too clumsy.  Netanyahu is being indicted for corruption by his own Justice Department.  Not good enough to just act like a blustering dictator--had to cheat as well.  And our own Bobby Kraft got caught with his zipper down in a place that was being investigated for being part of an international human trafficking investigation.  The PR hit to him is unimaginable.  Wonder if any of his sons knew and wonder where his gal pal Ricki was.  Do believe Myra is turning in her grave.
--POTUS was touting summary executions as something to be admired.  It just keeps getting worse.  Wants drug smugglers caught in the act to be executed on the spot.  Does he even know what the means? No shame/no empathy.
--POTUS has also announced that we will be having a big celebration in DC on July 4th.  Maybe we can have the military show off a few missiles like Russia and North Korea.  He must not have gotten the memo telling him there has always been a celebration in DC on July 4th.  Fucking idiot.
--And Jared, who is busy solving the problems in the mid East, has a security clearance that all the intelligence agencies don't think he should have.  I'd love to see him in jail so we can say he is a chip off the old block.
--Remember the kid with the MAGA hat who was busy messing with the Native American in DC a few weeks back?  His parents are suing somebody for how those in the media treated their son.  You
gotta love lawyers!!
--Speaking of kids:  as I write this at least 245 children remain separated from their parents.  We should be ashamed and embarrassed.
--My fine town is now screwing around with the licensing of beer gardens.  Seems some folks are enjoying themselves and having fun so the Legislature would like to slow that down and retain our image as a no fun city.  We also have a gigantic casino opening right next door but those in charge of that license cannot seem to remember about the JOBS created and are still engaged in a legal battle
with Steve Wynn.  You gotta love lawyers!!
--Saw a nice heartwarming story on ESPN(?) about a High School football coach who has no arms or legs.  I have no such courage.

SPORTS TALK
--Did not know Nick Cafardo the baseball writer for the Boston Globe.  Died suddenly last week (at 62!!).  I read him every Sunday and will miss his work.  From the eulogies I read, he seemed like a
decent guy.
